Why Use an Accountant?

by Dean Paley on February 4, 2013

Accountants do more than your bookkeeping and prepare your taxes. In fact, an accountant with a professional designation has expertise in finance, business management, technology, taxation, and business management.

Your accountant has a stake in you and your business. We are your advisor and counsel who can be depended on to deliver objective advice.

Other ways an accountant can help you includes:

Succession Planning

Can your business succeed without you? Your succession plan helps ensure that your business is self-sufficient and allows you enjoy the fruits of your labour. Your succession plan also positions you to sell your business or transfer it to others.

Business Start Up

Your accountant can help you select to best operating structure for your business (sole proprietorship, partnership or corporation).

We have the skills and expertise to guide you through the business planning stage and can introduce you to bankers and lawyers and help bring your concept to market.

Estate Planning

Whether you are an individual or business owner, an accountant has the expertise and skills to ensure you are able to provide the maximum value for your heirs in your estate plan.

We will work with your lawyer to ensure that your beneficiaries get the full benefit from your estate.

Financial Planning

Do you have enough for retirement? Are you getting objective and independent advice? Your accountant can help you realize your dreams or prepare cash flow projections for your business.

Controllership

No business is too small for a chief financial officer!

We provide part-time controllership services that provide advice on financial controls, help with month end processing, and ensure your business is in compliance with government regulations.

Accounting

We offer a wide range of accounting services including the compilation of your financial results on an interim or year-end basis.

We provide payroll administration, tax compliance, cash management, projections and bill payment, as well as analysis, assessments, calculations and reviews.

We help you to interpret financial information so that you can make informed decisions.

Tax Planning & Preparation

Tax planning is more than preparing your tax return and filing it on time.

Planning is an integral part of the financial planning process. We will help you reduce the taxes you pay — now and in the future!

Whether you are an employee or self-employed, an investor or small business owner, a farmer, student or landlord, we will save you money through effective tax planning and preparation.
